Imaged from my backyard :) #astronomy #exoplanet03 Jan 2026 22:33 +0000at://did:plc:qqa3lyxplkf6b6lzztyd7i23/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbkhocmsqk2shttps://bsky.app/profile/keefbram.bsky.social/post/3mbk5scqejk2sSomething very satisfying watching tha data roll in live of the transit of an Exoplanet in front of its star. This is WASP-10b, a Jupiter sized planet, the transit takes about 2h14m and should be 2.5% in depth. The data is close to the prediction shown by the red lines :) #exoplanet #astronomy03 Jan 2026 19:36 +0000at://did:plc:qqa3lyxplkf6b6lzztyd7i23/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbk5scqejk2shttps://bsky.app/profile/keefbram.bsky.social/post/3may3bfuwvk2gI tried a slightly harder target, this is the transit of Qatar-9b. This is 700 light years away, its star is a Mag 14 K5V about 0.7x the diameter of the Sun. The planet is Jupiter sized and took about 2 hours to transit. The transit depth was only 3% this time. #exoplanet #astronomy27 Dec 2025 15:03 +0000at://did:plc:qqa3lyxplkf6b6lzztyd7i23/app.bsky.feed.post/3may3bfuwvk2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/keefbram.bsky.social/post/3mawg3jqfe22jTonight I decided to try something new. I managed to detect Exoplanet TOI 3714b transiting its host star using my 190MN scope and 2600MM camera. Totally blown away that this is possble from my back yard here in the UK. Transit took 1H 38mins and was about 5% in depth 🤯. #Astrophotography #exoplanet26 Dec 2025 23:11 +0000at://did:plc:qqa3lyxplkf6b6lzztyd7i23/app.bsky.feed.post/3mawg3jqfe22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/keefbram.bsky.social/post/3m2n4zqjnqk2oHad a go processing some of my older narrowband data in Pixinsight of Melotte 15 in the Heart Nebula. I feel this is a better result this time, more finer structure and better stars.
